best knot for plugs/lures
In article ,
"oh duh" wrote: What is the best knot for attaching 30 lb test mono to plugs and lures? Depending on whether the lure has a ring or just an eye I would use a loop to allow for the best movement. The Homer Rhodes knot is what I use almost exclusively. It is easy to tie and in 30# or better tippet you should have no problems. It is only 60-70 percent of line strength but your running line would likely break first. If you want more strength look at the Rapala knot which is similar but requires additional wraps and finish after the initial overhad knot of the Homer Rhodes. This knot is about 95 percent. I have not used this know but if you have a concern it would be a consideration. If the lure has a ring I use the Uni-knot and with 30# tippet, 4-5 turns are plenty. -- "Atlanta Joe" aka Joe Webb Flats fishing is Flat Fun! Visit my site at http://flatsfisher.com |
